Editing Single non-transferable vote (section)

===Hong Kong===
From 1997 to 2016, the electoral system for up to [[Geographical constituency|half of the seats]] of the [[Legislative Council (Hong Kong)|Legislative Council]] of the territory was nominally a [[party-list proportional representation]] system with [[Hare quota]]. In practice, political parties fielded multiple lists in the same constituency. For example, the [[Democratic Party (Hong Kong)|Democratic Party]] fielded three separate lists in the eight-seat New Territories West constituency in the [[2008 Hong Kong legislative election|2008 election]], aiming to win three seats (they won two). Split list or split tickets is done in order to win more seats with fewer votes, since the first candidate on each list would require less than the Hare quota to get a seat. Supporters are asked to split their votes among the lists of the same party, usually along geographical location of residence. In the [[2012 Hong Kong legislative election|2012]] and [[2016 Hong Kong legislative election#Seats summary|2016]] elections, no candidate list won more than one seat in any of the six PR constituencies which returned a total of 40 seats, rendering the result effectively the same as SNTV.

In the [[2021 Hong Kong electoral reform]], the [[Standing Committee of the National People's Congress]] instituted SNTV in its amendment to Annex 2 of the [[Hong Kong Basic Law|Basic Law]] on 30 March 2021.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Geographical constituency boundary maps in respect of 2021 Legislative Council General Election available for public viewing|url=https://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/202106/01/P2021060100370.htm|access-date=2021-09-13|website=www.info.gov.hk}}</ref> 20 seats of the Legislative Council are returned by geographical constituencies (GC) through single non-transferable vote with a district magnitude of 2.
